Urea Prices Are on the Rise Again
After a brief pause in the direction two weeks ago, urea prices found positive momentum last week at both locations including Brazil and NOLA (New Orleans) US. The positive momentum in urea prices seemed just around the corner with most of the companies including CF Industries (CF), Nutrien (NTR), CVR Partners (UAN), and Mosaic (MOS) indicating a slowdown from Chinese producers (XLB). Both new government regulations and rising energy prices have put pressure on Chinese nitrogen producers lately.
